Stock is 14000, what are your modded 361s turninig at WOT? I know of some doing 15000.
 
14.5-15K for a modded 361 should be ok. Turn it up and get it to 4 stroke. You could determine what is best by doing some timed cuts after adjusting the carb. Check plug color also...

I would get up with Ed and see what he thinks would be a safe number.

Mine runs the best at about 14280 stock, haven't tried the Andy muffler yet - but likely will in a weak or two.......
 
WOT is only a rough indicator of mixture setting.. it will depend on bar length, chain tension, oiling, and more..

Set it in the cut... or by timing cuts... if the saw was under constant max load (like a blower), you'd set it slightly rich of peak RPM at max power. That's what you need to try to emulate.
